Association of Independent Living Groups

Fraternities, Sororities and Independent Living Groups, or FSILG's for short, are a critical part of the MIT undergraduate residence system. FSILG's have been part of MIT since MIT began -- in fact, the first MIT housing was provided by fraternities. Today 37 (very) different FSILG's provide one-third of all housing and 40% of all undergraduates are members. The FSILG houses are located in the communities of Cambridge, Boston, and Brookline and are in small neighborhoods and bustling urban areas.

Most houses have a group of active alumni who have a regular role in house operation. The Association of Independent Living Groups is the affiliation of those alumni together. The AILG speaks for the FSILG's and is formally organized with officers and standing committees on accreditation, on economic development, and on public affairs.

The AILG is the principal voice of the FSILG system with MIT and is the principal vehicle for sharing best practices between and amongst the houses, especially where long-term continuity or judgment are indicated.
